Book Description Hardcover. Condition: NF. Dust Jacket Condition: NF. Photos, Art, Maps (illustrator). 1st. This fine book covers the history of the Shaw Saville (SS) Line from 1858 to 1882, the time the company operated a fleet of majestic sailing ships which carried thousands of immigrants from Great Britain to New Zealand in the first 25 years of the company's operations. The end iof the age of sail was not the end of SS, which went on to provided a link between Britain and the Antipodes for another century. The author David Savill was the grandson Walter Saville, one of the line's founding partners. Although born in England he spent his youthful years on his family's sheep station near Hanmer Springs in North Canterbury, returning to England for study at Winchester, he served in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve in WWII, then joined the Colonial Service, assigned to Nigeria unil its independence in 1960 when he joined SS in London. Although many of the company's records were destroyed in the Blitz of 1941 he was able to reconstruct an impressive history of the emigration trade in his book. In 1858 the company arranged for its first ship to take immigrants to NZ, shortly after the partners formed the company carrying their names. Within a year of its estalishment SS sailings for NZ (nine in 1858) held a dominant position in the transport on immingants from London to NZ. Good fortune favoured SS in its formative years, first with news of gold rushes in Nelson and in Otago, with prospective miners figuring largely among the passengers, cheap land in NZ was another attraction to head for the Antipodes and some ships carried large numbers of women destined to be servants in the colony. The majority of the voyages to NZ took 100 days or more with a rare trip of 70+ days or over 130 days at the other extreme. David Savill has drawn together an early history of SS, with the more human aspect of the attraction and detractions of long ocean voyaging under sail, the conditions aboard ofter depending on the weather ecountered, fair wind of foul. Accommodation, meals, on-board activities, unruly crews and the hazards of the voyage are all covered in this very informative and interesting aspect of the social history of both the British Isles and NZ, with SS carrying about 13,000 migrants to the other end of the earth until SS and the Albion Line merged in 1882. First edition of 1986. 185 pages including eight appendices, bibliography and index, illustrations include 12 colour reproductions (most full page) of paintings of SS saiiling ships and one full page ship colour photograph, plus three Savill family portraits, 12 b/w photos, 12 line illustrations and two maps. Blue hard covers with gilt spine titles NF, text block also NF, no inscriptions. Colour art DJ is also NF, plastic proteced with top and lower edges taped. Seller Inventory # 004727
